Hi everyone!
Inspired by "Ryukins" tank I am going to switch from fine gravel to bare bottom. It's a 37g.
My plan is to move the boys into a 5g bucket and fill another 5g bucket with tank water and put the filter media into it. Then I'll drain the tank and take out the gravel. Then I'll fill the tank back up saving room for the 10g from the buckets. Since the filter media will be safe in the old water it shouldn't put my tank back into a mini cycle right. The vast majority of the bb live in the filter media right?
Thanks for any advice!
